• Place generator on a level surface. All electrical loads MUST be disconnected from generator.
• Turn fuel valve to the “ON” position.
• Slide the choke lever to the “Choke” position.
•

For electric start, SKIP THIS IF THE ENGINE IS WARM OR HOT. Push and hold the engine START/ON/OFF switch in
the “START” position. Do not hold the START/ON/OFF switch in the “Start” position for more than 15 seconds. Allow 1
minute between starting attempts. (See fig 9)
For manual start, push engine start ON/OFF switch to the “ON” position. Pull recoil handle (starter cord) slowly until
resistance is felt, return, then pull rapidly. (See fig 10)
• Let engine run for several seconds and then gradually, as engine warms up, slide the choke lever fully engaged the
“Run” position.
• To avoid recoil, pull starter cord slowly until resistance is felt, return, then pull rapidly.
WARNING!
Pull cord recoils rapidly and pulls arm towards engine faster than you can let go which
could result in injury.
• Always start the engine and let it stabilize before connecting any electronic devices.
• Disconnect all electronic devices before stopping the engine.
WARNING!
Never start or stop engine with electrical devices plugged in to the receptacles. Failure to
do so could damage the generator and / or connected electrical devices.
Grounding the Generator (See fig 6)
The ground terminal located on the front panel of the generator may be used for
additional grounding, or when connected to a structure. Connect the ground terminal to
an earthen ground rod, driven six feet into the ground. with a No 8 AWG (American
Wire Gauge) copper wire. The wire connects to the terminal between the lock washer
and nut. Tighten the nut securely to ensure proper connection. Grounding the generator
protects you from electric shock that results from a build up of undetected ground faults.
